Let's divide 278026 by 9
The aim is to understand the frequency of 9 in 278026.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
9 can be fit into 27 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
8 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 80 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 308.0
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
9 can be fit into 82 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3089.0
If we take 81 away from 82, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
9 goes into 16 1 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 30891.0
Deduct 9 from 16 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30891.7
Deduct 63 from 70 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 70 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 30891.77
If we subtract 63 from 70, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Our division results in 30891.77 with a remaining 0.007.
